Description of problem: I am running Mageia beta2 (32bits) installed and up to date (today May, 07th 2011) on a dell laptop latitude D810. X server runs ATI radeon driver. It's impossible to activate 3D effetcs under kde 4.6.3. When I click on "apply" button, my session freeze during 20 seconds and then return in normal mode but without 3D effects activated. On Mandriva 2010.2, same laptop works perfectly with 3D effects activated. In 2D the computer behave normally. lspci | grep -i vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M24 1P [Radeon Mobility X600] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install mageia beta2 on laptop with ATI x600 card 2. activate 3D effects under kde 4.6 3.

Could try this : kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Compositing -key OpenGLIsUnsafe false kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Compositing -key CheckIsSafe true kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Compositing -key DisableChecks true kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Compositing -key Enabled true & then you can try eventually with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 kwin --replace Seems a duplicate of #968

Hi, actually John, your post gave me the solution. when I tried to enable deskop effects, I did not look at the advanced tab from the "configure desktop effects",dialog box. From this tab, "enable direct rendring" check box was not checked. Once checked desktop effect works flawlessly. So no more bug for me :) Thanks again.
so i'm closing it as worksforme
